Reichardt said. “We don’t want
them to be scared of us and go
and hide from us if there is a fire.
“When you are in a house, you
can’t hide from a fire. We teach
them not to hide anywhere like
under a bed or in a closet. We
emphasize o them to stop, drop
and roll and don’t go and hide.
“We want them to have an idea
of what this is about.”
Reichardt said the firefighters
also emphasize fire prevention
and fire safety with videos.
